strawberry doughnuts

Last time I made doughnuts, I kind of decided that I didn't need to do it ever again. Then I saw these strawberry doughnuts and I about died. They looked so good! So I found myself in my kitchen today, giving doughnuts another try. I think I just need more practice. :) But I'm afraid I might eat the whole batch myself (I already feel a sugar headache coming on), so maybe I should swear them off for reals this time?

I followed the recipe exactly as written and was pleased with how they turned out. They were delicious straight from the fryer; very sweet and tender and so fresh! But I think my glaze needed more powdered sugar. It was really runny and sticky and it never hardened properly. Oh well, they were delicious anyway. And I ate more than my fair share.

One year at YW camp, a long time ago, the cooks made us all homemade doughnuts rolled in cinnamon sugar for dessert on night. They were amazing. I've thought about making some myself, but haven't done it. Your doughnuts look amazing! Maybe I'll have to just try it sometime soon. Very soon.
